Skip to 2:54 to get to the actual fur tutorial part.
hmm where is this fair in maya 2018 ? is it creating new hair system with xgen ?
when i click on the fur it just … does nothing … please, help me (it shows me the attribute editor of the fur but don't apply it to the object, nothing happens)
Can I do the same thing in Maya 2018?
is it just me or did he edit a render into the render he did at the end to fake the result. Cause the lighting isnt the same at all and the fur wasnt showing in the preview….
What computer are you using?
Basicaly the tutorial for creating fur is : "press the Fur button"..
Quite straight forward
Liked and subscribed!
the fur does not appear in the work space even if I render it either, what can I do?
it's useful but there is a problem appears: the fur doesn't cover all of my model, it just show on some parts of it. What should I do?
Super helpful thanks!

Hi! Whenever I combine meshes, all fur (on one or some meshes) dissapears entirely. It looks strange and stretched if I reapply it on th combined mesh.
Why?
Thanks
Yaaaay! I have a beautiful pink furry ball ! Im going to show it my mom now :"D
Brilliant!! I easily made a Tribble!! (just what I needed)… I hate how I can't see my progress in real time in the viewport… 🙁 But I got it.
i cant see the yellow fur lines on the object, i can only see the fully baked fur after render, how do i see the yellow lines when editing the fur like you did?
were is the fur option in maya 2016
When I do it, after render it still doesnt cover say a whole part of build
Do you have any idea why i dont se any fur until i render?
